Whereupon Buffy says "That was then, this is now" & shoots him with a bazooka....
I just love that scene.
I remember that 
"Once more with feeling" is a classic as well. And the Angel "puppet" episode.Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?Comment

Nope!!Originally posted by Jog On View PostThis is that beginning of the day bit where everyone's got into work - made sure that client contact/boss/managers etc have noticed that, they've fired up the PC, opened Outlook, said hi to TPD, opened up something worky so it looks like they're busy then gone off to waste a good 1/2 an hour in the canteen/outside or wherever people go to do this.
Am I right??
Today is the day that Bear has gone to work in his own office. logged on to laptop, logged on to 2nd laptop and connected to ClientCo network.
gone to kitchen, made cup of tea, grabbed paper and sat down in the Chesterfield to enjoy.

Worryingly, I was giving a presentation a few years ago to a supplier and one of their guys was obviously asleep. Trying not to take this personally I soldiered on with the powerpoint and hoping one of his colleagues would do something other than smile about it.
I sped through the rest of the presentation as fast as I could, and assumed that the lights coming back on would be sufficient to wake the guy up. It wasn't. Turns out the guy was diabetic and was slipping into a coma. His colleagues had 'forgotten' his condition and had also assumed he was asleep. Ended up requiring an ambulance on site.
